You get a smooth, durable surface that handles Pennsylvania weather without cracking or deteriorating in the first few years. No rushing through your project to get to the next one.
Your driveway or parking lot becomes an asset instead of a headache. You won’t deal with constant repairs, water pooling, or that sinking feeling when you see cracks spreading after just one winter.
Every project gets our full crew’s attention from start to finish. That means proper preparation, quality materials, and the kind of workmanship that holds up to heavy use and harsh weather for years to come.
We’ve been serving Telford and surrounding areas since our family roots in the industry began in 1948. That’s over 75 years of learning what works and what doesn’t in Pennsylvania’s challenging climate.
You’re not working with a fly-by-night operation or a crew that treats your property like just another number. We’ve built our reputation one driveway and one parking lot at a time, earning five-star reviews because we show up, do the work right, and stand behind it.
Telford properties face unique challenges with freeze-thaw cycles and heavy traffic patterns. We understand local soil conditions, drainage requirements, and the specific materials that perform best in this area.
We start with a site evaluation to understand your specific needs, drainage patterns, and any unique challenges your property presents. You get a clear explanation of what needs to happen and why, along with transparent pricing.
Preparation makes the difference between paving that lasts and paving that fails. We handle proper grading, base preparation, and any necessary drainage solutions before laying the first bit of asphalt.
During installation, our crew focuses solely on your project. No splitting attention between multiple jobs or rushing to finish. You get regular updates on progress and can see the quality of workmanship as we go.
After completion, we walk through the finished work with you and explain proper maintenance to maximize your investment’s lifespan.

Your paving project includes proper site preparation, quality materials selected for local conditions, and professional installation by experienced crews. We handle everything from small residential driveways to large commercial parking areas and industrial surfaces.
Telford’s clay soils and seasonal temperature swings require specific preparation techniques and material choices. We account for proper drainage, frost protection, and base stability to prevent common problems like cracking, settling, and water damage.
Each project includes grading services when needed, water management solutions, and detailed attention to edges, transitions, and connection points. You also get access to our maintenance guidance and senior, military, and first-time customer discounts when applicable.
Properly installed asphalt paving in Telford typically lasts 15-25 years with routine maintenance, though this depends heavily on the quality of installation and base preparation. Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles are tough on pavement, so proper drainage and adequate base depth are critical.
The key factors affecting longevity include base preparation depth, material quality, and installation timing. We don’t pave when temperatures are too cold or when rain is forecast, because these conditions compromise the final product. Many contractors cut corners here, leading to premature failure.
Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years and prompt crack repair extend the life significantly. We provide specific maintenance recommendations based on your property’s traffic patterns and exposure conditions.
The difference shows up in the preparation work you can’t see and the materials used. Quality paving starts with proper excavation depth, adequate base material, and correct compaction. Cheap jobs skip these steps or use insufficient base depth.
Material quality matters too. Lower-grade asphalt may look fine initially but breaks down faster under traffic and weather. We use materials appropriate for your specific application and traffic load, not whatever’s cheapest that day.
Installation technique affects durability significantly. Proper temperature control, compaction patterns, and joint construction prevent common problems like edge cracking, water infiltration, and premature wear. These details cost more upfront but save thousands in repairs later.
Drainage problems cause most paving failures in our area, so we evaluate water flow patterns before any installation begins. This includes checking existing drainage, identifying problem areas, and planning solutions during the design phase.
Common solutions include adjusting grade slopes, installing catch basins or French drains, and creating proper crown in the pavement surface. Sometimes we need to address underlying soil conditions or redirect water away from the paved area entirely.
We won’t just pave over existing drainage problems and hope they go away. Poor drainage leads to base failure, cracking, and premature replacement. It’s better to address these issues correctly during initial installation than deal with expensive repairs later.
Installation typically takes 2-5 days depending on project size and weather conditions. Day one usually involves site preparation, excavation, and base material installation. We need good weather for asphalt installation, so timing may adjust based on forecasts.
You’ll have limited access to paved areas during installation and for 24-48 hours afterward while the asphalt cures. We coordinate with you on parking arrangements and access needs beforehand to minimize inconvenience.
We clean up thoroughly each day and provide clear communication about progress and any unexpected issues. You’ll know what’s happening each step and when you can resume normal use of the area. No surprises or abandoning the job halfway through.
Residential driveway paving typically ranges from $3-7 per square foot depending on site conditions, access, and preparation requirements. Commercial projects vary more widely based on thickness requirements, traffic load, and site complexity.
The wide price range reflects differences in preparation work needed. Simple overlay projects cost less than full-depth reconstruction, but overlay only works when the existing base is sound. We evaluate each situation honestly rather than pushing the cheaper option when it won’t last.
Factors affecting cost include excavation depth, base material requirements, drainage solutions needed, and access challenges. We provide detailed estimates explaining what’s included so you can make informed decisions about your investment.
We stand behind our workmanship with guarantees appropriate to each project type and scope. Residential driveways typically include warranty coverage for installation defects, while commercial projects may have different terms based on specifications and expected use.
Our warranty covers installation-related issues like improper compaction, material defects, and workmanship problems. It doesn’t cover damage from excessive loads, ground movement, or lack of maintenance, but we’re clear about what’s covered upfront.
More importantly, we’ve been serving this area for decades and plan to continue. Our reputation depends on satisfied customers, so we address legitimate concerns promptly whether they’re technically covered or not. That’s how family businesses survive and thrive.
